1 SESAR & NextGen Working together for Aviation Interoperability Royal Aeronautical Society Annual Conference - London April 14 th 2011 Peter Hotham Chief of Technology & Innovation SESAR Joint Undertaking EUROPEAN COMMISSION

2 The Growth Challenge 2.5 Billion passengers and a growth in international travel of 8.8% (ICAO 2010 actual figures) 1.7 Million out of 9.4 Million flights in Europe were international - in or out of Europe (Eurocontrol 2009 figures) Where next? Maybe not quite like this! But to cope, a new and interoperable ATM System is needed Page 2

3 SESAR = 3 Fundamental Changes to ATM THE 4D TRAJECTORY PRINCIPLE Improving the predictability of the system THE SYSTEM WIDE INFORMATION MANAGEMENT Sharing data across systems and between stakeholders AUTOMATION Human operators concentrate on high value-added tasks Page 3

4 SES Performance, Safety & Cost targets Enabling EU skies to handle 3 times more traffic Improving safety by a factor of 10 Reducing the environmental impact per flight by 10% Cutting ATM costs by 50% Page 4

6 Air Transport in Europe 2050? From 9.4 Million to 25 Million Flights and from 751 Million to 16 Billion passengers. Ground infrastructure comprising major hubs, secondary airports, vertiports and heliports connected to a multimodal transport network. Passenger and freight Infrastructure, services, operators, aircraft, airports, ground-handlers and the military are integrated into global interoperable multi-modal networks provided by a small number of organisations. Shared information platforms and new IT concepts facilitate planning and decision-making. Easy passenger access to airports seamless door-to-door services. Airport design, processes and services are based on new highly efficient concepts with disruption resilient operations. Levels of automation mean unmanned flights are commonplace, opening new aviation applications. Page 6

7 The Global Context SESAR is developing the new ATM System for Europe. Europe cannot be isolated in the global ATM context. Interoperability is key to ensuring coherent global solutions. Page 7

8 Interoperability What does it mean? It does NOT mean the same solution everywhere It does mean systems able to work together. Systems in this context are at many different levels. The Aircraft is at the heart of worldwide interoperability. Information exchange at the global level is becoming essential Page 8

9 Framework for Global Interoperability The Target Achieved with: Meeting: Operating in: Page 9

10 Global Coordination and Interoperability While regional differences require different solutions there are some issues where interoperability can only be achieved through the adoption of common standards and common reference frameworks at a global level. Page 10

11 Global Cooperation & Interoperability Standards built on SESAR and NextGen developments will support harmonised Implementation and Regulation Industry Standards ICAO Global consensus to ensure world-wide interoperability. SESAR NextGen SJU/FAA Coordination Programme level coordination enhanced by interoperability and wider industry buy-in. Development of a common avionics roadmap is a priority for SESAR Page 11

Improvements in monitoring and position tracking of aircraft over oceanic and remote regions. Page 15

16 Wider Global Cooperation SESAR international cooperation is wider than the critical EU- US agreement. SESAR is also working directly with other major global players in ATM Page 16

17 Global Cooperation & Interoperability Industry Standards ICAO SESAR NextGen SJU/FAA Coordination Page 17

18 SESAR Coordination with ICAO The goal is Global Interoperability and ICAO sets the framework for achieving this. SESAR will support ICAO and the member states in defining the way ahead. Taking the opportunity of ANC12 to set the agenda going forward. SESAR is committed to working with ICAO to establish clear needs for high level global standards, supplemented by harmonised industry standards to support block upgrades of the future ATM system.

19 Building the Global Blocks

20 What is an Aviation System Block Upgrade?

21 Global Interoperability Aeronautics & Aviation are global businesses There are and will remain different operating environments (both within & outside Europe) International collaboration is essential for Air transport operations (ICAO) Greater levels of connectivity across the network need International collaboration beyond operations Investment in Aerospace to deliver Air Transport solutions is essential if Europe is to maintain its global influence We cannot afford not to think global and act collaborative Page 21
